Earn a British Degree with International Recognition

A British degree can be a valuable credential when you are looking beyond a single city or country. The programme gives you the opportunity to earn a degree awarded by the University of Lancashire while studying from Lisbon.

Its internationally recognised academic foundation can help you communicate your knowledge to employers and professional contacts across borders. Whether your ambitions take you further in Portugal or into a wider international career, your studies can support the next conversation about what you are ready to do.

Complete Your Studies 100% Online in as Little as One Year

You do not need to relocate or put your life on hold to pursue this MSc. The programme can be completed entirely online, making it possible to study alongside your work, family commitments and daily routines in Lisbon.

With a route that can be completed in as little as one year, you could develop new perspectives and move towards your next professional goal sooner than you might expect. Your progress will depend on the study pace you choose and the programme requirements.

Study Without Scheduled Online Attendance

Your learning should have room to fit around your responsibilities. The programme does not require you to be online at specific times and dates, so you can plan study sessions for the hours that work best for you.

That flexibility can make a meaningful difference when your working week changes or life becomes busy. You can engage with course materials on your own schedule while still keeping track of applicable coursework deadlines.

Keep Learning Wherever You Go

Studying online means your learning can travel with you, whether you are at home in Lisbon, elsewhere in Portugal or further abroad. A change of location does not have to mean a pause in your ambitions.

Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. It is a practical way to make use of travel time or continue learning when a reliable internet connection is not available.

Show What You Know Through Open-Book Assessments

Instead of relying on classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. This approach gives you the opportunity to work with learning resources as you develop and present your responses.

Open-book assessment can encourage careful analysis, informed judgement and the ability to connect ideas. Those habits matter in cyber security and artificial intelligence, where complex questions often call for thoughtful investigation rather than a memorised answer.

Learn with Globally Educated Faculty

Your studies are supported by tutors and faculty whose educational backgrounds include world-renowned institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis.

Learning from people with varied academic experiences can broaden the perspectives you bring to each challenge. Their guidance can help you examine ideas critically as you build confidence in a fast-evolving field.

Join an International Learning Community

Robert Kennedy College brings together students from more than 130 countries. Studying alongside people with different experiences and viewpoints can enrich discussions and help you see digital security challenges through a wider lens.

Alumni work for international organisations including Google, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens, Sony, IBM, Verizon, Dell, the United Nations, ICRC and the World Bank. Their career paths illustrate the breadth of environments in which members of this global community have put their skills to work.

Plan Your Investment with Monthly Instalments

Taking the next step in your education also involves planning for its cost. The programme’s fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments.

Spreading payments over time can make it easier to plan your budget while you focus on your studies. You can consider the payment schedule alongside your personal commitments before deciding when to begin.

Connect Your Ambitions to Lisbon’s Opportunities

Lisbon’s growing technology and startup community offers an exciting setting in which to think about cyber security and artificial intelligence. As digital products evolve, organisations need people who can recognise risks, ask better security questions and help build trust into the systems people use.

The city’s tourism, hospitality and retail sectors depend on digital bookings, payments and customer experiences. Knowledge of cyber security and AI can help graduates contribute to conversations about protecting information, managing emerging threats and using new technologies responsibly in customer-facing businesses.

Lisbon is also connected to international trade, logistics and financial services, where resilient digital operations matter. From protecting interconnected systems to evaluating the implications of AI, the ideas you develop through this MSc can be applied across industries and beyond national borders.
